Hi,
I think the jogl forum is not that good as it should be. My suggestion born from here
http://forum.jogamp.org/Fullscreen-on-secondary-monitor-td4032833.htmlI strongly believe a better forum would:
- improve the readability
- improve the understanding of the different interventions
- help spreading the jogl platform
- improve the forum usability though better quote, multiquote, thanks to the author of a post, link for going to the first unread message, a much nicer good looking, (better) supports for code, quote, links, images, videos, etc etc.
I say this because I use and love jogl, so helping make it better is all in my interest :)
I guess one open source software forum is best solution, here some options
http://savedelete.com/2014/08/05/free-forum-software/14592http://codenread.com/best-of-15-open-source-php-forum-scripts-bulletin-board/Personally I would go on the phpbb, since it looks the most used, it should have also the best documentation and community out there. And of course it seems having all the most wanted features..
This is their website
https://www.phpbb.com/and here you can try the demo
http://try-phpbb.com/30xuser and pwd: administrator
What do you think, guys?
Other very interesting option are:
-
http://vanillaforums.org/, they even won the People's Choise Award for Best Forum Software 2013,

http://www.mybb.com/Ps: following this tips
http://www.forum-software.org/ten-questions-guide-to-choose-the-best-forum-software I get 3 options: FluxBB, PunBB and Vanilla Forums
If we look on the paid option, the 1st one in absolute is invisionPower
